DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Yifei Chen (Qilimanjaro and UB)\n\nAnalog Quantum Co
 mputing leverages a controllable quantum system—such as an array of supe
 rconducting qubits—to mimic the evolution of complex quantum systems and
  solve problems that are otherwise classically intractable. Unlike digital
  quantum computing\, which decomposes algorithms into discrete gates\, the
  analog approach utilizes the natural Hamiltonian evolution. This makes it
  particularly robust for simulating condensed matter physics and quantum c
 hemistry in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era.\nAmong superc
 onducting qubit platforms\, the fluxonium qubit is a premier candidate for
  analog simulations. It benefits from established lithographic fabrication
  techniques while offering a unique combination of wide tunability\, stron
 g nonlinearity\, and the capacity for strong inter-qubit coupling\, making
  it well-suited for building high-fidelity quantum simulators.\nThe talk w
 ill explain the fundamentals of fluxonium qubits and show how to calibrate
 and correct the fast flux bias pulse to operate a single qubit. To validat
 e the flux pulse control\, the plan is to run an experiment to observe Lan
 dau-Zener transition. And potential quantum algorithms\, such as variation
 al diabatic schedules\, can also be tested with the single qubit.\n\nhttps
